Staking in DeFi Explained: Network vs Protocol Rewards (In 3 Minutes)

Description

DeFi staking explained: learn the difference between network staking (validators / delegated staking) and protocol staking (incentive rewards), plus the key risks—lock-ups, validator penalties, token-price risk, and liquid staking trade-offs. Educational only — not financial advice. DeFi involves risks (volatility, liquidation, smart-contract bugs, bridge risk, user error). Examples use common DeFi patterns and may occasionally reference fast-moving ecosystems like Sonic for clarity. #Staking #DeFi #CryptoEducation #ProofOfStake #LiquidStaking #PassiveIncome #RiskManagement #Sonic
